The seven complex lessons in education forthe future by Edgar Morin: 1. Detecting error and illusion: Teach the weaknesses of knowledge:what is human knowledge? 2. Principles of pertinent knowledge: Consider the objects ofknowledge in their context, in their complexity, in their whole. 3. Teaching the human condition: the unity and the complexity ofhuman nature. 4. Earth identity: Teach the history of the planetary era, teach thesolidarity between all the parts of the world. 5.

And teach what misunderstanding is. 7. Ethics for the human genre: Teach the ethics of humanitypreparing citizens of the world.

As educators we need knowledge forenabling all children and all people toaccess knowledge and to benefit from beingeducated.1. DIGITAL SOLIDARITYIn the field of Education, ICT should help develop “Digital Solidarity”. Thisrequires strong and joint actions of all stakeholders to guarantee the right ofparticipation in the digital society for all students in the world.2. LEARNERS AND LIFELONG LEARNINGIn the Knowledge Society, every learner is a lifelong learner. The contentand the methods of initial education must take into account preparationfor lifelong learning. ICT is a key tool for developing lifelong learning.3. DECISION-MAKING STRATEGIESIn order to help decision-makers and to make decisions meet the realneeds, bridging research, practice, experimentation, innovation withdecision-making is essential. Decision-makers should make better use of theexperience of Practitioners and the findings of Researchers.

Cont.…4. NETWORKINGThe Knowledge Society is networked. Networks in Education offermany ways to access knowledge, offer many possibilities fornetworking people and developing collaborative work andenhancing the “collective intelligence”5. RESEARCHThe development of ICT-based education and training processes is agrowing reality. There is therefore a need to continue research work onthe development of these technologies and their applications6. TEACHERSBeing a teacher in the Knowledge Society requires new specificcompetencies: a teacher has to deal with new knowledge, new waysfor accessing knowledge; with a networked world and with new typesof co-operation and collaboration; with a society in which knowledgeplays a crucial role; with lifelong learning.

“EDUCATION FOR ALL”GOALS

9.
Education for all… Is a global movement led byUNESCO, aimed at meeting the learningneeds of all children, youth and adult by2005. But education for all doesn’t necessarilymean Quality education for all…. Education is also a very good investment.Why deprive children from qualityeducation ?

10.
“Education for all "goals April 2000 the international communitymet in Dakar, Senegal and set a globalchallenge with the potential to changelives of million children.. Their challenge was embodied in the sixeducation for all goals..

11.
Six Education For All goals..1.Expand early childhood care and education2. Provide free and compulsory primary education to all3. Promote learning and life skills for young people and adults4. Increase adult literacy by 50 %5. Achieve gender parity by 2005, gender equality by 20156. Improve the quality of education

12.
EDUCATION FOR ALL A number of the set challenges were notachieved by 2005, including the issues ofquality education for everyone…

13.
Education for all For quality education or learning to become realityfor all, there are crucial factors that have to beconsidered… such as teacher recruitment, their workingconditions, their appropriate remuneration, as well asthe quality of their initial and continuouseducation, to be considered. Therefore , The Fast Track initiative plans to includequality measures such as the monitoring of learningoutcomes as additional criteria for approving FTIcountry plans. But this growing attention on quality education doesnot mean quality is improving, but it indicates that it issee as being of crucial importance.

14.
And three main challenges in relation toequality of education remain that…. Learning outcomes should be monitored. Learning environments must beapproved. Attracting more and better teachers isparamount.

15.
Learning environments doneed improvements….

17.
We need qualified teachers for thequality of our education… . “EI strongly believes that qualityeducation cannot be achieved withoutadequate numbers of properly trainedqualified teachers.” governments should play a leading rolein training teachers, who should beequitably deployed to urban and ruralschools . With the intention to improve teachers’conditions of service, including salaries.

20.
PERVASIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY “The Information and communicationtechnologies are to be used to create greateraccess to learning opportunities, redressinequalities, improve the quality of teaching andlearning, and provide personalised learningexperiences.” Therefore all teachers will thus require theknowledge, skills, values, and attitudes, as well asthe necessary support to integrate ICT intoteaching and learning.

21.
PERVASIVENESS OF TECHNOLOGY

22.
THE HOSTILE APPROACH TO TEACHER DEVELOPMENT…. The development of ICT skills cannot be practisedin isolation from their context. The development of ICT skills and knowledge forteachers should be an integral part of initial andcontinuing teacher development programmes. This approach has the following three dimensions:1.A pedagogical dimension, which implies anunderstanding and application of the opportunitiesof the use of ICT for teaching and learning in a localcurriculum context.

23.
Cont.…2. A technical dimension, which implies• An ability to select, use and support a range of ICTresources as appropriate to enhance personal andprofessional effectiveness; and• The willingness to update skills and knowledge inthe light of new developments.3. A collaboration and networking dimension, whichincludes• A critical understanding of the added value oflearning networks and collaboration within andbetween partners; and• The ability to create and participate incommunities of practice.

24.
Principles to be followed in the professionaldevelopment programmes for teachers….• Educational goals should be primary.• Teacher development programmesshould provide teachers withsituated/contextualised learningexperiences.• Teacher development programmesshould be needs driven• On- going support should be consistentlyavailable.

25.
Cont...• Teacher development should be on-going, due to the changing nature of ICT.

26.
Five development levels… Implementing these developmentsrequire guidelines to be followed for theprogrammes to be successful…. Therefore the five development levels wedeveloped to serve as guide lines for theteacher development programmes… Entry level. The teacher is computerliterate and is able to use computers.

27.
Cont.… Adoption level. The teacher is able to usevarious ICT, including computers, to supporttraditionalmanagement, administration, teaching andlearning, and is able to teach learners how touse ICT. Adaptation level. The teacher is able to useICT to support everyday classroom activitiesat an appropriate NCS level, assess thelearning that takes place and ensureprogression

28.
Cont.… Appropriation level. The teacher has a holisticunderstanding of the ways in which ICTcontributes to teaching and learning. Innovation level. The teacher is able todevelop entirely new learning environmentsthat use ICT as a flexible tool, so that learningbecomes collaborative and interactive
